Visión de la educación superior en las comunidades U´was de Norte de Santander, Colombia.

Abstract

The U´wa people of Norte de Santander have been able to establish their own educational policy respecting their traditions and wisdom, their territory is located in two municipalities Chitaga and Toledo. Education has been the tool that these peoples use to maintain their struggle with the state for their rights; it plays an important role in meeting the expectations of the people. It became important to establish the vision of this town, the construction of its center of higher education and the access and permanence of members in the different programs. The participation of its leaders, authorities and some members of the community in the development of the research made it possible to identify the problems it has had for the formation of its educational establishment; determine the causes that do not allow members of the community to access or complete their studies.
